IConfig | package-json-type

A config object can be used to set configuration parameters used in package scripts that persist across upgrades. For instance, if a package had the following:

{
  "config" : {
    "port" : "8080"
  }
}

and then had a start command that then referenced the npm_package_config_port environment variable, then the user could override that by doing npm config set foo:port 8001.
